This article, part three of a three-part series, explores Exadata storage maintenance.
Managing an Exadata Server is a great way to jump from being a normal DBA to great DMA (Database Machine Administrator), and get into the nitty-gritty details of storage administration. This tip will share some Exadata Storage maintenance jobs, how to manage them and at which logs to look.

This talk will build out the full solution architecture block diagram showing the end-to-end stack of Oracle cloud security features for Exadata and how to use them to protect data in public, private, and hybrid clouds.  Topics will include ssh access, network firewalls and software defined networks (SDN) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, platform firewalls (iptables),…

Nearly every conversation with Oracle surrounding hardware includes a discussion about their various cloud offerings.  In the Exadata world, there are typically three choices: the traditional arrangement, an Oracle-hosted Exadata Cloud service, and the Exadata Cloud Machine.  The latter option, also known as "Cloud @ Customer," proclaims to offer the flexibility of a cloud offering,…

When storage indexes kick in, the number of blocks that need to be returned from the storage cells drop dramatically. Since the storage cells can provide many blocks very quickly most of the time in big accesses is usually loading that information into the compute nodes. But storage indexes don't always kick in the way…
